Milky-white rain in New Mexico

On January 7, 2008 in southwestern New Mexico, the rainstorm was weirdly white.

“I don’t know what it was, but it left a milky, white residue on all the vehicles in town,” said Lt. Eddie Ortiz, 48, of the Grant County Sheriff’s Department, talking about the unusual Jan. 7 rainstorm.

“It was like someone spilled milk on your windshield and it dried up,” Ortiz said. [link]
